Modifying Child Support

Modifying child support involves changing the amount of money one parent pays to support their child due to changes in circumstances. This can happen if a parent’s income changes, such as losing a job or receiving a raise, if the child's needs change, or if there are changes in custody arrangements. To modify child support, the parent seeking the change typically needs to file a request with the court, providing evidence of the new circumstances. The court will then review the information and decide whether to adjust the support amount to ensure the child’s needs are met appropriately.
